Redaksioneel Vrydag 6 November 2020

Goeiedag en welkom by nog ‘n pragtige uitgawe van OVERdeBERG. Dit is ons 40ste uitgawe en ek is dankbaar vir elke leser en ondersteuner. Aan my skryfspan ook net ‘n groot word van dankie. Sonder julle ongelooflike bydraes is dit wat ons hiér het, nie eers naastenby moontlik nie. Al hiérdie dinge maak dit oor en oor die moeite werd om elke week die publikasie vir julle uit te lê.

No.10, 5th Avenue, Arniston Dinner can be arranged at the guest house with prior notice.

In hiérdie week se uitgawe berig ons oor die nuwe Munisipale Bestuurder van Kaap Agulhas Munisipaliteit wat die afgelope week amptelik verwelkom is. Daar is weer ‘n heerlike kuier in die kombuis met twee liplekker resepte, ons gaan loer in by Marina Blight, ‘n kunstenaar van Bredasdorp wat haar nuutste uitstalling gereed het en haar inspirasie kry van ons konneksie met die natuur… definitief iets om na uit te sien!

Ons kuier by die pa & dogter omroeperspan van Radio Overberg en die skolenuusafdeling begin weer lekker spoed optel met ‘n hele aantal nuusbrokkies en foto’s van skole dwarsoor die Overbergstreek. Op bladsy 13 is dit weer die kapperjolle van Jakkals & Wolf, met Wolf wat koors het en Jimmy Herbert is terug met nog ‘n baie interessante storie uit ons skatkis van Overberg maritieme geskiedenis.

Inspired by the gifts of nature

Mother Nature remains committed to her seasonal cycle… thát is the inspiration behind this series and why I call it ‘Nature’s Gift’! It will go on show on the 20th November 2020”.

Press Release Local artist Marina Blight will release a series of 30 paintings sized at 20x20 cm themed ‘Nature’s Gift’.

Each painting reflects our connection with nature, a belief that every new day is a gift filled with hope!

A place to meet.

40×50 cm.

Oil on canvas.

Marina Blight is a Bredasdorp based artist where she lives with her husband together with a loveable Birman cat named Cloudy and Jack their enthusiastically friendly Yorkie. Her art speaks mostly of her inner feelings and how she sees the world supporting her motto “Art is our perception of reality”. She regularly exhibits, presents workshops and gives art classes in Bredasdorp and Struisbaai.

The ‘Natures Gift’ series will be released on Friday, November 20, 2020 on the artist’s Website www.marinablight.co.za and be on show at the Greyton Art Walk from the 20th to the 22nd of November 2020. For additional information contact Marina Blight at 0827474917 or fineart@marinablight.co.za

Although COVID-19 continues to cause havoc around the world, cementing 2020 into the history books forever, it has also shown our collective resilience to overcome even the most difficult of circumstances. We have become more aware of the value of our existence relying on hope and faith to ensure a better tomorrow.

Marina explains: “The gift of nature enriches our lives, even in the most difficult circumstances. The world as we’ve known it has changed and yet nature continues to give us the reassurance that life is not in vain. overdeberg2020@gmail.com

New Municipal Manager for CAM Press Release On Monday, 2 November 2020, Mr. Eben Phillips newly appointed Municipal Manager (MM) at Cape Agulhas Municipality (CAM), together with his Personal Assistant Ms. Elsabé Zieff, went on a walk-about to the different municipal offices to meet and greet the staff.

During the the walk-about, Mr. Phillips mentioned that the staff of an organization are its most important asset.

AACL sterilization project in Klipdale Jacques Louw

From left to right: Eben Phillips (Municipal Manager), Hendrik Kröhn (Director Management Services), Henna Pedro (Receptionist) and Caroline Pontac (Personal Assistant to the Director Management Services).

Photo: Gurswin Prins Executive Mayor Paul Swart and the Council also recently held a thanksgiving ceremony to thank the staff for their dedication and hard work during the year but especially during the National Lockdown where a lot of the staff had to function as frontline workers. Deputy Mayor Zukiswa Tonisi acted as the master of ceremonies and gave the outgoing MM, Mr. Dean O’Neill and newly appointed MM, Mr. Eben Phillips an opportunity to say a few words.

Another fantastic sterilization project complete in Klipdale. In total, 37 animals were sterilized here along with Dr. Annelize Roos and her team from Envirovet CVC. Cape Agulhas Municipality sponsored the event and Videlia Davids and Edwin Boucher from the CAM Animal Control Department assisted along with the AACL volunteers Lee Anne Van Eeden and Andre Viljoen with the pre and post operative care of the animals. Inspector Christine Moult was instrumental in this effort and always goes the extra mile and always put the animals first.

“Thank you for this opportunity, it allows me to embrace the diversity of CAM, it’s a good mix of diversity, diverse people, diverse personalities, people who come from different backgrounds, beliefs and cultural groups and that is the beauty of a team. I would like to tell you that I am a very active team player.

It is in my nature, and character to embrace everybody’s roles which they have to play in the organization. You can have the best kind of a captain or leader, but if the rest of the team does not support that leader, does not share the same vision, does not share the same goals for the organization, then we will stagnate and see a very vibrant conflict immerging from it.

I will give every person an opportunity to play their role in the organization. We as the leaders are here to maintain the good and sound administration of Cape Agulhas Municipality, that I can only do if everybody supports the vision and plays their role” said Phillips. overdeberg2020@gmail.com

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”

(Josh Billings) Mr. Eben Phillips is no stranger to Cape Agulhas Municipality where he was previously employed, but most recently he was the Director Community Services at Knysna Municipality. We wish him all of the best with his new position and we are sure that he will make a huge success of it.

SANParks Agulhas National Park Week Jacques Louw Photo: TripAdvisor

Lime-washing old historical houses Jacques Louw

The Park Week celebrations will this year be held at the Soutbosch farmstead from 16 to 20 November. Soutbosch is situated on the Struisbaai to Elim gravel road, off the R319 and R43 tarred roads.

The programme consists of walking, birding, cycling and canoeing on the Nuwejaars River. Visitors must bring their own canoes and lifejackets. A very special lime-washing activity is planned and visitors will be invited to take part. Visitors can also bring their own picnic lunch. Coffee, tea and light refreshments will be on sale. The normal COVID-19 regulations are applicable.

For more information you can please contact Emmerentia De Kock at 0284356249/6078 or the Reception at 0284356078 between 08h00 and 16h00.

Elim people have for years practised the ritual of limewashing their houses every year, just before Easter, with the preparation of the lime two weeks before Easter.

The process to prepare the lime is described in Afrikaans as “die insuur van die kalk�. The lime (pieces or stones) was placed in a metal container, filled to half level with water, stirred and heated to boil. Coarse salt was then added, as well as tallow or boiled linseed oil. The mixture is boiled again while stirring well. The container is filled up with water when the slaking is completed. The walls to be lime-washed must be prepared by wetting them for three consecutive days and immediately before the lime-washing starts. Three coats of lime wash are applied, with at least one day between coats. The lime-wash must be kept damp for at least three days after application with a light spray of water.

Nuwe omroepers by Radio Overberg Jacques Louw

Foto: Jacques Louw Die rooispan by Radio Overberg fm in Bredasdorp is vinnig besig om groter te word. So ‘n week of wat gelede, was ons bevoorreg genoeg om die pa & dogter kombinasie van Sammy en Noreen Banda by die stasie te kon verwelkom.

In sy ander hoedanigheid is Sammy Banda die skoolhoof van Mispah Skool op Elim en beide himself en sy dogter is sangers in eie reg.

Die program wat hulle op Radio Overberg aanbied, staan bekend as ‘Koortjies wat Kook’ en word uitgesaai op ‘n Sondagmiddag van 13h00 tot 14h00. Dit dek meestal die verskillende kore en koormusiek wat hier in en om die Overbergstreek gevind kan word, sowel as gedeeltes buite ons grense. Jy kan Radio Overberg fm stroom by:

Verlede week het Kobus Wiese (oud Springbok rugbyspeller) ‘n draai gemaak by Bredasdorp Superspar om sy Wiesenhof koffiereeks te bemark. Hy was daar vir die grootste deel van die oggend en het ook baie tyd afgestaan om met almal te gesels. Kobus het ook ‘n hele aantal foto’s saam met kliënte geneem en nuus van sy teenwoordigheid in die winkel, het vining versprei. Ettiene Murtz (links) en Breanzo Swart (matrikulante van Albert Myburgh Senior Sekondêr, het dan ook ‘n geleentheid gekry om saam met hierdie legende op ‘n foto te verskyn.

‘n Groot dag vir 5 jong Elimmers Lunette Coetzee

Op die foto is dan vlnr Marlon London, Carla Richter, Zoë Richter, Suzette Arends en Edwin Coert.

Foto: Lunette Coetzee Op Sondag 1 November, het die 2020 Konfirmande hul geloofsbelydenis en beloftes in die Morawiese Kerk te Elim afgelê.

Wat eintlik op Palm Sondag 2020 moes plaasvind, het weens Grendeltyd agteruit geskuif. In Oktober is daar toe, in samewerking met die ouers, besluit dat daar nie langer met die aanneming gesloer moes word nie, maar hierdie proses moes nou voltooi word. Daar is haastige voorbereidings getref en die konfirmande het toe weer 2 weke hersiening gehad. Hulle was altesaam 5 lidmate. Op die dag was die konfirmande uitgevat in wit kleredrag vir die jonge dametjies en die jongmanne in wit hemde met swart pakke.

Dit was 'n baie besonderse diens wat deur Eerwaarde Brenda Talliard waargeneem is. Die kerk was gevul tot sy toelaatbare getal en COVID-19 regulasies is streng toegepas. Die Konfirmande se ouers het voorbereidings getref en ook hul beste onder die omstandighede voortgesit.

Klein BD’s presteer Jacques Louw Twee BD-boeties, Luca en Mynhard Rademeyer, het onlangs aan die ‘Western Cape Offroad Club Races’ deelgeneem. Hul uitslae was soos volg: Rondte 3 was in Riviersonderend op die 12de September 2020.

Mynard het 3de geëindig vir die dag in sy klas (85cc Seniors).

Hy ry ‘n 85cc Yamaha en het 4 rondtes van 20km (80km) gedoen in 2 uur. Luca het 5de geëindig vir die dag in sy klas (65cc Juniors). Hy ry ‘n 65cc Yamaha en het 2 rondtes voltooi van 20km (40km) in sy 2 uur gleuf.

Rondte 4 was in Wellington op die 24ste Oktober 2020. Mynard eindig 2de vir die dag in sy klas (85cc Seniors). Hy het 4 rondtes (60km) gedoen in die 2 uur tyd gleuf. Luca het nie die resies klaar gemaak nie. Hy het 1 rondte voltooi, maar baie hard geval en besluit om ‘helmet’ in te gooi vir die dag.

Die Konfirmande is baie tevrede met die verloop van sake en die gemeente het ook 'n mooi gevoel van tuiskoms en normaal ervaar. Die Konfirmande het lekker saam as groep by mekaar se huise die gebruiklike sang en samesyn geniet. Elke familie sorg vir ‘n Konfirmasie-koek en die allerheerlikte versnaperinge en mense kan 'n koppie tee geniet en 'n houer met lekkernye saamneem huis toe.

Vervolg op bladsy 15 12

Die laaste twee rondtes vind plaas op die 14de en 15de November 2020 te Koue Bokkeveld. Dit is gewoonlik baie taai, want dit is ‘n "back to back race" en fisies vat dit baie van die manne! Hulle is baie opgewonde en ons hou duim vas vir goeie resultate, want dit bepaal hul finale punte en posisies vir die ‘Western Cape Offroad Club’ vir die jaar.

Bredasdorp VLV afsluiting Letty-Ann Möller Die jaarafsluiting van VLV Bredasdorp-tak was, soos Pierre Vlok later in hierdie berig oor WOL sê, “’n emosionele ding”.

Die opwinding het alreeds begin met die voorbereiding van die Spaanse tapasgeregte, die opmaak van die Agri-opleidingsaal en die opmaak van geskikte kersgeskenke - handgemaakte kerskranse - aan die rugkant van elke oorgetrekte stoel. Adéle Dreyer se pragtige ‘Ball Room Latin American’ dansskool, het die Spaanse tango kom doen en al die dames se spontane “WOW!” het die middag van 3 November 2020 baie effektief opgesom.

Die sekretaresse, Annemi Fourie, het ‘n pittige en feitebelaaide jaarverslag aangebied waarin sy COVID-19 bedank het vir die innoverende uitdaging wat dit vanjaar aan die VLV-tak gebied het.

Hulle het BKB se naam hier gevestig en vir BKB is dit altyd ‘n voorreg om met wol te werk. Ver voor die Bybel se tyd is daar mense wat al met wol gewerk het. Daar is skaap geskeer, iets soos 800 jaar voor Christus met skêre wat amper gelyk het soos vandag se goed. Wol was ‘n unieke kommoditeit. Jy was ryk as jy wol gehad het. Wol is ‘n unieke stof met unieke mense wat met wol werk. ‘n Wolskeersel is ‘n emosionele ding. Wolskeersel kan jy bemark by ‘n persoon as jy sy vertroue gewen het, as jy waarde toegevoeg het tot sy besigheid en as jy vir hom iets beteken het. Dan sal hy dink daaroor want wol is ‘n emosionele ding en ek sal nog baie lank oor wol kan praat. Voorsitter, dankie vir hierdie wonderlike trofee. Ons sal mooi daarna kyk en die hele BKB sê vir jou baie dankie.”

Die voorsitter van VLVBredasdorp-tak, Annette van Eeden, het haar onderskei as beste voorsitter van Overberg Sirkel en die tak het 11 van die 18 konferensietrofees gekry. “Hoe lyk dit met 12 volgende jaar?”, wou Annette met ‘n knip-oog weet.

“Dit gaan natuurlik nie oor die bekers nie!” Die idee is dat almal by mekaar leer want die VLV belê vanjaar en in 2021 in die vrou! ‘n Ander projek, dié van ‘Plastiek, Vriend of Vyand’ het die volle sirkel van herwinning voltooi toe ‘n trofee van ‘n skaapkop wat pragtig deur die grafiese 3-D kunstenaar, Christelle van der Westhuizen, ontwerp is en deur Nobel fm se bestuursgroep geborg is, deur die VLV aan BKB geskenk is as toekomstige wisseltrofee vir ‘n prestasietoekenning in die wolbedryf. Pierre Vlok, Bestuurder: Wol, Wes-Streek , BKB, het die trofee namens BKB in ontvangs geneem en het onderhoudend 14

‘n Groot dag vir 5 jong Elimmers Vervolg van bladsy 12 By elke huis word 'n spesiale tafel vir die Konfirmande gedek. Elkeen ontvang 'n Konfirmasie teks, wat pragtig versier en gelamineer is. Ter aarde bestelling word die konfirmasie teks aan die gemeente voorgehou. Die Konfirmande het 'n lang goedloop program gehad. Hulle moes nog steeds tienuur saans onder ouers se toesig wees. Om eerlik te wees, was daar tye van ongeduld en kommer asook vele kwelvrae en onsekerheid. Hul moes hulself stig en nog steeds voorbeeldig wees. Daar het geen klagtes uit die gemeenskap by die kerkkantoor oor enige van hulle gekom nie.

Wanneer daar weer nagmaal is, sal hulle kan deelneem, as volwaardige lidmate. Hulle het vroeër in Februarie vanjaar nagmaal waargeneem. Klasse het ingesluit Bybelstudie, Kerkordeninge, Kerkgeskiedenis, die Ou en Nuwe Testament, Kerktug, gebruik van die dagteks- en gesangboek, die aanleer van die drie artikels, die Doop en Konfirmasie, gebruik van die Bybel, George Schmidt, Genadendal, Graaf Von Zinzendorf se lewe en reinheid.

Klasse geskied gewoonlik oor 9 maande. Hulle woon oor naweke 3 klasse by. Hierdie groepie het aan die begin van die jaar 'n besoek aan Genadendal gebring waar hul self die interessanthede kon besigtig. Hulle was ook vergesel van die Konfirmasieklas van Bredasdorp Morawiese Kerk en die Leermeesters van die twee groepe.

History from the Overberg Jimmy Herbert Bredasdorp Shipwreck & Cape Agulhas Lighthouse Museum logos The first to be the most southern museum in Africa was our very own Shipwreck Museum. Fairly we can call it just that, "ours" for not only did it come to be through inspired locals in 1971, but also almost every single artefact on display was donated by Overbergers or by those that held Overberg history dear to their heart.

This unique Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum is the only one of its kind with the theme, "Shipwrecks along the dangerous Southern Cape coast and their influence on the development of the Strandveld".

The farm named Langefontein, was bought in 1837 to build a new church. In 1845 and 1865 the Old Rectory and Anglican Church were completed respectively. As recently as 1967, both buildings were declared national monuments, and four years later, converted for the purpose of a museum.

The next to become a museum was Cape Agulhas Lighthouse Museum. The Agulhas bank is a unique geographical formation where a massive amount of the warm Mozambique current is squeezed over the much shallower area (rising up from close to four kilometres deep to 120 meters and shallower), with all the added turmoil that this causes. Second to South America's Cape Horn, Cape Agulhas is the most notorious passing to attempt.

Logically, many ships did not make it thus warranting this Cape the title 'Graveyard of Ships'.

To curb such fatalities, the lighthouse was built in 1848 where it stood faithfully now for now 172 years, as a maritime sentinel over Africa's notorious most southern tip. With Green Point lighthouse (1824) as the oldest, Agulhas has the second oldest working lighthouse in South Africa. In 1962, the building was declared a national monument where, to this day, the revolving electric light flashes once every 5 seconds, reaching 56 kilometres out to sea. Shining this distance to either side gives us over 130 shipwrecks RESTING IN HER LIGHT.

appointment as a trustee, Sura had already been there for ages.

In the museum, her photos were everywhere. Sura was also a driving force in bringing about the national monument status of the lighthouse, as well as it becoming a museum. On gaining the latter prestige, Sura artfully, creatively and enthusiastically produced a beautiful logo for the lighthouse museum.

With her artistic talent and art education background, Sura sketched the building modelled on one of the oldest Seven Wonders of the World, the original Egyptian Faro's lighthouse. To this, she added some grass in front, five seagulls in flight and a ship's wheel. She was signifying, seagulls as an indication to mariners of land being nearby and the light as navigational assistance for the man behind the wheel.

Seeing this beautiful creation of Sura's, this author decided to follow suit and design a logo for the Shipwreck Museum. Taking her idea of the wheel of a ship as an edge, the sea, a Portuguese ship going east and a 19th century diving helmet was added.

Being a shipwreck museum, the sea was a must. The brass fitted wooden steering wheel represented navigation around the dangerous southern point. In turn, our 'lady of miracles' ( Nossa Senhora de los Milagros), as the Overberg's 3rd oldest shipwreck and by far the most valuable one, was utilised to represent the many ships lost. The Van Breda and Albertyn family were also not forgotten as they were the first in the Overberg to own a diving helmet, suit and air pump unit of the time. The diving helmet thus represents all the salvage attempts on many of the shipwrecks with that of the Zoetendaal (1673), Joanna (1682), Nossa Senhora de los Milagros (1686) and Schonenberg (1722) being the first four. As a final touch, my then 12-year-old daughter coloured it in authentically, neatly and with great care.

Both artists added their mark. On the Lighthouse logo designed

by Sura, the name SURA can be seen, while on the Shipwreck Museum logo, there is a signature of the initials of this author (EJH). Both these logos have proudly added to the history of these two National Monuments.

With the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum in control, the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse Museum was opened in 1994. Under the initial guidance of the late Professor Carl Lohan, it soon became the main attraction. Carl again established the importance of enthusiasm. Standing tall in red and white, the historic architecture of the lighthouse inspired and invitingly drew people to it. Once an interested person came even near the building, Carl would call him or her in to, willingly or not, be taken on a guided tour. Word spread, and in no time, the lighthouse museum became a 'must'-visit. Both museums operated as one until the year 2000.

Another very dynamic and enthusiastic museum and lighthouse lover was a lovely lady from Bredasdorp called, Sura (born Swart). Sura, a born and bred Overberger, went on to serve as a trustee of the Shipwreck museum for about twenty years.

Remarkable! In 1990 when this author arrived as a presidential 16
